Thrak Posted February 27, 2015 #51 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Lol .. we ordered it from Princess ...it will be in our room when we get there ...we don't smuggle ...the stress would be too much for me. Did a 4 day on Crown in early February. For some reason I looked through the worthless coupon book. I was surprised to find an extra BOGO coupon! It was for a single instance of BOGO at Skywalker's between 10:00 and 11:00 PM. I used the coupon for that and then also took advantage of the "regular" BOGO from 11:00 - Midnight. Since I prefer straight Bulleit (bourbon) with no ice I have them put both in a single glass. If you do the early one shortly before 11:00 and then the regular one just after 11:00 you can end up with 4 servings which you can then pour into a single glass. I then took the glass back to my cabin, set it aside, and went to bed. I had a nice little bourbon stash the next day. :) Edited February 27, 2015 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted February 27, 2015 Author #52 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Does anyone recall if there was a 2 for 1 happy hour on Embarkation Day as well? Or more specifically, if there were BOTH happy hours (3 to 4 and 11 to 12)? Just checked my Patter from our December cruise on the Royal. None shown for 3-4 and there was one for 11-12.

vickie_bernie Posted February 28, 2015 #53 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I was just on the Royal and we went a few times to the Bogo but like mentioned Crooners was CRAZY. Club 6 at 11 pm was much better. We even bought bottles of wine - got two for the price of one! Very handy. They also had a shooter deal. $3 and you got to keep the glass See attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted February 28, 2015 #54 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) So you can purchase bottles of wine, 2for 1? Can you drink the second in the mdr? Edited February 28, 2015 by happy cruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickie_bernie Posted February 28, 2015 #55 Share Posted February 28, 2015 So you can purchase bottles of wine, 2for 1? Can you drink the second in the mdr? yes you can buy bottles of wine or at least we did on the Royal this month. Yes you can bring the bottles to the dining room. You do pay the 15% gratuity on all beverages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rianvi Posted February 28, 2015 #56 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you for the great information. Will certainly put it to use on our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do pay the 15% gratuity on all beverages too. Please clarify this for me/us. You bought a full bottle of wine at the bar during the 2 for 1 Happy Hour? and if so, did you ask for the menu of bottled wine and chose from it?

But we knew what we wanted. They have copies (at least on the Royal) of Sabatinis bar menu, Crown Grill wine list and the dining room's wine list. I have copies of the wine lists on my blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly bring the Princess price for wine down to a more "real-world" level! I will file this one away in the back of my brain for out PC cruise in September.

Merlinite Posted February 28, 2015 #62 Share Posted February 28, 2015 hmm, we were told that the BOGO was only good for glasses of wine :mad: this was on the Golden recently. The bubbly small bottles were available, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boca7 Posted March 9, 2015 #65 Share Posted March 9, 2015 spent 20 days on the grand...happy hour in wheelhouse 3-4. This really obliterated the need to go up to the p/e/s bar in the evenings. Especially because they changed (or went back to original rules) where you have to have the "featured" drink each night. You used to be able to have any of the featured drinks on any given night. This was especially helpful for me because i'm allergic to gin. We always enjoyed going up there before dinner, but now, after the second night, we never went. I missed going up there, but 2 for 1 is a better deal that $5 for a drink i don't like or can have. I think they should have the 2 for 1 in the p/e/s bar also. Now that would be a nice perk! you are so right, & its stupid changing this policy. Now hardly anyone goes to the elite happy hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted March 9, 2015 #66 Share Posted March 9, 2015 More reports on purchasing wine by the bottle at happy hour would be appreciated. Also must you order from a server or can you go to the bar to order?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSprite01 Posted March 10, 2015 #68 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd also like to know about the 2 for 1 wine. And if you buy it at happy hour, how do they know you already paid so you can bring it to the dining room w/o a corkage fee? (If it's not marked, you could just bring on board wine on their list and drink it in the MDR anytime w/o paying. We won't ourselves, as we prefer to bring different wines than on the list.)

temple1 Posted March 10, 2015 #69 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This is all good to know. We will be on Coral Princess next month and from the discussion, it is now on all ships? Since this is my first non-Royal Caribbean cruise, we will be missing the Diamond perks that were so easy to get used to. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300dtc Posted March 11, 2015 #72 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is there a limit to how many times you can order during the happy hour? For instance if we wanted to both order drinks, but I also wanted to order cans of soda.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted March 11, 2015 Author #73 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is there a limit to how many times you can order during the happy hour? For instance if we wanted to both order drinks, but I also wanted to order cans of soda.. I would think that you could order everything at the same time. For example, if your DH ordered a cognac, you ordered a rum and coke plus an extra can of coke, you would receive 2 cognacs, 2 rums and coke and 2 cans of coke. Of course, they would not object if you ordered seconds. Again, you would receive 2 of each of whatever you ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted March 11, 2015 #74 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is there a limit to how many times you can order during the happy hour? For instance if we wanted to both order drinks, but I also wanted to order cans of soda.. The limit would be how frequently you were able to get a waiter to take your order. We've found it gets pretty crowded at the BOGO. If the first day isn't full then by the third day it probably will be packed. I've ordered twice during the BOGO hour but it was once at the beginning - actually a few minutes in advance as the waiter wanted to get a start on taking (but not yet filling) orders - and then again toward the end of the hour. The waiters are very busy. I suppose if you got up and tracked one down you could get in 3 orders during the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser113 Posted March 11, 2015 #75 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just off Caribbean Princess.........2 for 1 was in fusion midday . No cans of soda etc. in that bar: had bar spray for tonic, club soda etc. Over several days bought : beer , Korbel and mixed drinks had to be the same drink. Most enjoyable. Did not check out wine as we brought our own and paid corkage fee. But will check out wine on next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
